    Banana matcha latte
    Kathy X.

    I tried the banana matcha and it's a decadent and flavorful drink. It's super creamy and tastes like dessert in a cup. However, it's just a smidge too sweet for me, and the matcha super strong either. Service is fantastic though, they brought my matcha directly to me, which I thought was so nice.

    Tried the Biscoff Matcha and it was amazing! One of the best matchas I've had. The coffee was good as well but the matcha was better

    Stopped by at the ktown plaza to try a new coffee shop in ktown. Replaced oBeem coffee shop and is in the same place. Good amount of seats for groups and individuals. They have a good amount of coffee and matcha drinks. I wanted to try their matcha and got the cloud matcha since that had a cream top version. I liked it. Didnt taste artificial and after mixing everything, it was really nice and not too sweet. Also tried a biscoff matcha drink which was good too. Had chunks of the biscoff cookie in the drink. They have parking validation so make sure to ask. Park in the garage.

    Came here after a visit to koreatown Plaza. This is a small, chic little café that recently opened inside the plaza. We ordered the salt bread and a matcha latte. The salt bread was incredibly soft with a rich, buttery umami flavor that was absolutely delicious. The matcha latte was smooth and well-balanced, making it a great pairing with the bread. The prices were a little steep, but that's pretty standard for the area. There was only one table available for sitting and getting work done, so it may not be the best study café. That said, it's definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area and looking for a tasty snack and drink.

    Taking over the prior space of Obeem, needless to say everyone loved free and easy parking in LA. For me also meant I could do grocery run at same time LOL. The space looked kinda similar as before with bunch of seats by the lobby area of the main plaza, and a couple in front of the order counter. Decent crowd but swift ordering process. They offered some pastry options including doughnuts, alongside with coffee and matcha. I have been reading most people hyping up their Toffee Nut Latte so I just followed the reco and opted for the Cloud Toffee Nut. I loved the airy and slightly sweet cream top especially that crunchy toffee bits. Would agree with the crowd that the syrup was lovely and the coffee was decent. Kinda pricey with milk substitute costing close to $10. Might come back next for their matcha!

    Simply delicious and refreshing. Just perfect and not too sweet. Great sit down and break area in the mall. Right by the main entrance with a cool Summer breeze.

    Service was fast considering it was ARIRANG week. Had the Borahae which was ube latte. Was pretty good. Nice of them to have a section to interact and take pics with other Army's.

    Pistachio Coffee Latte

    Got pistachio coffee latte. Very scrumptious and not too sweet. I really enjoyed every sip!

    This coffee shop recently opened in Koreatown Plaza, and my friend wanted to try it since we wanted to get a drink after shopping. I got the cloud matcha latte with oat milk and they also charge extra for oat milk. However, they do have validation if you park in the structure. The store was tiny with very little seats inside but there are setting right outside the store too. The service was ok, but the cashier was not very friendly. The cloud matcha (2.5/5) had a strong matcha taste but there was nothing special about it and not worth $8 for the size of the drink.

    i unfortunately didnt really like the coffee here, staff were nice though and the vibe seemed pretty chill. i just didnt really like my order

    Had a delicious banana matcha latte at Nuru when visiting Koreatown for work. The service was great; cashier was friendly and the interaction was quick and not too complicated. The banana flavor was fresh and very natural, which I enjoyed as sometimes it can be too artificial for my tastes. The space itself had a very clean and minimalistic vibe and aesthetic, which was nice. Prices are a little steep (around $10 for the cloud banana matcha with oat milk) and it was a little small, but I would get it again. Located in the Koreatown Plaza which is super easy to get around (and free parking is a plus!).

It was so fresh and refreshing. Today I got a salted latte (?) it cured my incoming migraine and was delicious.

It was perfectly balanced, not too sweet, not too strong (but rich coffee flavor) and creamy but not oily, just so delicious. And the location is a nice spot too. It looked as much like an art gallery as it did a coffee spot. It is small but it has nice designated areas to work and relax. When I was there it was also quiet which is a nice change from a lot of coffee shops. And I believe it was the Owner who made my drink and she was very friendly and chill without being you know that kind of corporate-y overly effusive. The whole vibe could be summed up as relaxed. It's a really relaxed and relaxing environment. But if nothing else I will absolutely be back for that latte, it was *delicious*.

    Super friendly and cute coffee spot. Keep in mind parking…read moreis strictly on the street the valet is not for the coffee shop. Kinda secluded but still amazing and worth the trip. I tried their Americano with thick lavender creme and it was subtle yet nice. Never had an Americano like that and I didn't hate it. I say that because I normally do take my coffee on the dark side with zero to a splash of milk. But this did look appealing so I said why not be different today lol They also had food tried the bulgolgi burrito it was okay very hearty on the meat and had two eggs on it but I felt something was missing? It wasn't bad def massive and I felt like I had enough for 3 total meals lol Ventured out here after taking Ruby out to the vet hospital and needed to kill time for pick up. Def would be back again. You could see they knew the locals as many frequent this spot as a grab and go coffee joint. Great vibes and massive outdoor patio with lots of seating for working as well! !

    Seeing all the amazing reviews, I made a point to swing by on a Saturday morning. Honestly, the…read morelocation is a little hard to find-- there doesn't seem to be a dedicated parking lot, so street parking it is! However, there's also not a lot of street parking either. I ended up parking in the neighborhood, but it was one of those 4 parking street signs layered on top of each other, designed to confuse the heck out of you. I ended up taking a photo and running it through Gemini to make sure I was safe to park. Okay, parking aside, mu.so is located in large black office building-- they do put out a little "coffee" sign on the sidewalk. When you do see it, the actual coffee shot is small, but there's a whole backyard patio area with plenty of space for you to hang out. Anyways, I went with their iced americano with lavender cream top. I've been to a lot of coffee shops, but haven't run into a lavender cream top-- so of course I had to try. I thought it was pretty good, the cream top was a good pairing w/ the americano-- it sweetened the coffee, without making it too sweet or heavy. The lavender brought a light floral flavor to the coffee. While it's nothing life changing, I did think, it's a solid cup of coffee, it's worth a try, but probably not worth a dedicated drive over. I also picked up a blueberry muffin, because honestly, I love everything blueberry. I'd pass on it, but I'd recommend trying something else-- like the crossiants, which looked tastier. Overall, I might come by again and try one of their other drinks. While it wasn't bad, I expected a little more from a "signature' drink.

Found out…read moreby the young man who made my drinks that this place has been open coming up on the fourth year. So crazy, I live up the road, work down the road and drive on Pico all the time that I have never noticed them until last week. Walking in this place is your typical Los Angeles hipster coffee shop. Perfect for what this neighborhood has seemed to be changing into the past few years that I've lived in the neighborhood. Customer service was all right. Not necessarily friendly, I walked in and it took a minute for someone to acknowledge me. Now maybe to their credit it's because I was awkwardly standing by the pick up area but still nonetheless a hello good morning welcome would have been nice. Two drinks cost me $15. Like I said, LA. But for the credit, they were both very good. I'll be back for breakfast and more drinks so an updated review is to come. But for now, I recommend them for a a good cup of joe in the neighborhood.

    What a cute coffee spot!!…read more They've got outlets if you need to plug in and get some work done. The menu has a ton of things that sound really good, I didn't try the food this time, but I'm definitely coming back for it. Looking at you, mushroom sandwich!!! Coffee was great. I got an iced latte with almond milk and added 2 packs of stevia (huge bonus that they actually have stevia). They also have board games which is a fun touch. I didn't check if any pieces were missing or if the games were dirty but still nice to see. Service was friendly, no complaints there. I'll for sure be back when I have time to sit down and do a casual brunch.
